Matt, honey, the quilt is lovely, but you have to find a place to store the bedding until you have something to put it on.
That reminds me! Matt, you do have to find a place for that fountain. Lovely.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

Ooooh, the Bainbridge Rotary Auction writ large! It is a wonder to me: every year, the grounds of the middle school are overrun with stuff, and every year it happens again.
So much stuff will be seen! We have to hone our search parameters to keep it tight. I'm sure there are several truckloads of stuff we would find appealing.

JZ and have tickets to the legendary Oakland White Elephant Sale this Wednesday:
This sounds like so much fun!
Epic, I hope your tests help.
askye, I'm glad your appointment went well.
ltc bought books at the book fair today with her own money (mostly from grandparents). I'm so proud of her. At her age I would have lost that coin purse in minutes.

Ooh book fair. I always wanted so many books but could only get very few. But such excitement and longing!
The white elephant sale sounds awesome!

Oh and Epic that definitely doesn’t sound healthy or right and I hope you get some good answers ASAP!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gary has in-town meetings today through Wednesday. He has to be there early, so he arranged for the nanny to come at 7:30 to take Mr. S to school. What he failed to tell me was that I had to be there to wait for the nanny, which means I get to work a little late. Also, he set the alarm for 6, and Mr. S was up and being a wild child right when it went off.

I recently began wondering if I needed to replace my vacuum cleaner and reasonably concluded that perhaps I should try replacing the filter first, which led me to realize there were TWO filters and I'd only been cleaning one. Now I have a small stack of replacement filters and can confirm, to nobody's surprise, that the vacuum cleaner seems to be working a lot better now. How am I a grown adult person? Who authorized this?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's way too much shit to keep track of as a grown adult. I do not approve. Nor do I manage to keep track of it all.

She got 4 books and a squishy ball.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
How am I a grown adult person? Who authorized this?
I wonder this on a daily basis, and yet here I am with a window open for a chat with a realtor and another with my goddaughter, who is getting over the crud, while I track the shipping on the presents for my niece's baby shower and keep an ear out for the oven to finish heating up so I can shove supper in.
Meanwhile, I can hear my spouse and my 34-year-old offspring kibbitzing about being managers before going into a Destiny raid. Ken haaaaaaates managing people and is irritated to find that he is very good at it.
